Alpha Legion: The current state of affairs

So, lately I have been on a 30k binge trying to get my Alpha’s up to a playable state. Things are going well so far, I have 18 standard marines, 5 melta am da dreadnought fully painted. In WIP I have 5 heavy bolters and the missing 2 tacticals.

I’m quite confident I will have a playable force together ready for the new year, things are progressing quickly now. I should also have a post up soon about the progress of the Hive Volantis table, I have it fully built in the garage and as soon as the new lighting is up I will do a few glamour shots of the whole thing!

I have been into war games since the early 90's. After purchasing an MB/GW collaboration called Battle Masters for my birthday, I was hooked! A few months later I found my fathers old rtb01 marines, a few metals including terminators and a ton of fantasy, I was sucked into the universe of 40k completely. I love everything about it, but I think that it is the rich background which keeps me hooked. Warhammer is a unique thing, and limitless in its potential.
